Life’s Trials Are Not Meant To Test Your Physical Strength — But Rather The Strength Of Your Reliance On Allah:
A Firm and Strong Faith is such a never-drying spring, From which Flows the strength For the desired activities, coveted courage and Forbearance to tolerate adversities and Face dangers.
It creates in man such a restless Feeling and deep attachment to his ideal that if he is unable to achieve his coveted objective, he does not hesitate to partake of the drink of death.
When Faith Finds a place in a man's heart and takes deep roots in it, it brings out these results only — It Fills a man's heart and mind with such power and strength that covers and influences all his dealings.
It is the duty of everybody that make full efforts and try to the best of his ability to overcome his difficulty, till the time he achieves his objective. If he overpowers his difficulties then he has fulfilled his responsibility.
However, if after making all the efforts he Fails, then at such a time the support of Allah is the best shelter For him, which would help him to overcome the sense of defeatism and Frustration.
In both the states, he is strong. First by making efforts and working, and in the Second case by relying on God he receives Strength.
One of the highest forms of jihad is your battling of grief, your battling to accept destiny — your battling to praise and thank [Allah] during those difficult times when nobody realizes that you’re Feeling emotionally strangled or incapable of completing your day.
Yet, you still surrender your affairs to Allah despite not knowing the wisdom or being able to process the events. You Flee to Him simply because you’re certain that there is no running From Him except to Him. You accept and decide to be content regardless of how much it hurts.
Never doubt that your patience, praise, and acceptance are a Form of jihad. Life’s trials are not meant to test your physical strength, but rather the strength of your reliance on Allah. O Allah, help us stand Firm.
So, the point is that — whoever wants to be Strong among men should rely on Allah(swt). The person who Trusts in Allah(swt) is the one who obeys Him. All his hopes are From his Lord and not From any Creature.
May Allah(swt) make us rely only on our Lord.(Ameen).
